Giants news, 9/21: Hyatt denies trade demand, Shane Bowen, Brian Burns, more headlines

32 Thoughts Ahead of NFL Week 3 | Bleacher Report New York Giants : Love that we're getting a good look at Malik Nabers, but he has received nearly 40 percent of the offense's targets thus far. That's a recipe for disaster in terms of predictability.

This week's opponent Myles Garrett: I don't feel 100 percent, but I feel good enough to make a difference | Pro Football Talk Browns defensive end Myles Garrett is still dealing with a foot injury, but plans to play on Sunday against the Giants. Garrett played 68 percent of Cleveland's defensive snaps against Jacksonville after playing 76 percent in Week 1. He recorded three total tackles with a tackle for loss and a strip-sack.

Cleveland Browns: Deshaun Watson has been the most pressured quarterback in the league and his receivers lead the NFL in drops. I'm not excusing him entirely, but the Browns have to be better across the board or they could fall to the Giants on Sunday.

Bryce Young, Tua and Watson: An NFL tipping point, or billionaires' business as usual? | The Athletic On the field, Watson ranks 41st in EPA per pass play among 43 quarterbacks with at least 10 starts since 2022.

If the Browns sought to exit the deal, they would incur salary-cap charges so punitive — nearly $173 million, at present — that they would have a hard time functioning in the short term. Before the latest lawsuit was filed, they converted some of Watson's salary into signing bonus to create shorter-term flexibility under the cap, making it even tougher to extricate themselves from the contract.
